In today's episode we reflect together on a teaching by the Buddhist monk in which he says, “We have a tendency to think in terms of doing and not in terms of being. We think that when we are not doing anything, we are wasting our time. But that is not true. Our time is first of all for us to be. To be what? To be alive, to be peaceful, to be joyful, to be loving. And that is what the world needs most.” Over the next four episodes we will meditate on each of these four states: being alive, being peaceful, being joyful and being loving. Today's meditation begins with the first state of being alive.
